Start with a sharp, citrus-bright ceviche, follow with perfectly grilled fish, and a glass of chilled sauvignon – with crashing waves setting the soundtrack. It’s relaxed, considered, and the kind of midday meal you still talk about weeks later.

The Loren's Pink Beach Club feels like Bermuda on a plate – open-air, an Atlantic breeze whipping through, and a menu that knows its seafood and local produce. Tables spill towards the water, service is slick but easy, and long lunches have a habit of drifting into sunset cocktails.

A must-visit stop in Hamilton, The Island Shop is the home of original Bermuda-inspired art and design by local artist Barbara Finsness. Bright, hand-painted ceramics, linens, pillows and accessories echo the island’s cottages, flora and sea life, making them perfect gifts or keepsakes. 

This spectacular circular building sits right on the waterfront of Hamilton Princess Hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbour. Inside or out, the bubblegum-pink setting delivers – and so does the food. Intrepid has built a reputation for creative cocktails and modern American cuisine with global influences, all served in a buzzy, sophisticated atmosphere that feels special without being stuffy.
